Members PumpkinDog Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hey, I pulled out the ol' 5-string Ibanez the other day and give it a new set of strings to respark my love for 5 strings. I noticed that the neck pickup is not working (e.g. when I durn the volume down for the bridge pickup, the volume knob for the neck pickup gets me... no sound) it's an old ebay bass so I don't have a problem with trying to self-fix it. (I really don't have a problem playing with one pickup either) Any tips on figuring out if it's just the switch or if the pickup stopped working?

Members Verlian Posted October 11, 2007 Members Share Posted October 11, 2007 Do you have a Luthier friend? That's my first motive of checking for issues.. Since I'd always get it wrong... I suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted October 12, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2007 If you can open the control panel and take some pictures of all the wiring I can help you out. Specifically, I would look for loose wires and bad solder joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PumpkinDog Posted October 15, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2007 update: It randomly started working yesterday. We should probably document something about the healing power of HCBF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
